How to Get Rid of Sticky Residue From Stickers
- 1). Saturate the corner of a white cotton cloth with acetone nail polish remover. Rub the cloth over the sticker residue until the nail polish remover is completely absorbed into the fabric. Roll off as much sticker residue as possible.
- 2). Moisten another white cotton cloth with cool water. Dab the fabric with the cloth to rinse out the nail polish remover.
- 3). Saturate the remaining sticker residue with a prewash stain remover. Follow the instructions on the product label.
- 4). Rinse out the prewash stain remover with cool water.
- 5). Launder the fabric in a washing machine as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions on the fabric's care tag. Add laundry detergent to the wash according to the product's directions. Disregard this step if the fabric is on furniture.
- 6). Let the fabric air-dry completely.
- 1). Set a hair dryer on its highest heat setting. Hold the dryer 4 inches from the surface for 45 seconds to soften the sticker residue.
- 2). Moisten a clean white cloth with warm water. Rub the damp cloth over the surface to wipe away the residue.
- 3). Examine the surface for remaining sticker residue. If some adhesive still remains, spray the surface with an all-purpose water-dispersing lubricant. Let the lubricant permeate the residue for five minutes.
- 4). Scrape off the last bits of residue with a razor blade. Work slowly and cautiously to prevent scratching the surface. Keep the lubricant on the surface as you scrape.
- 5). Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to rinse away the residue and lubricant.
- 6). Dry the surface with a terry cloth towel.
